Comment auto-completion problem

One thing that I find an annoyance in Netbeans is that if I want to comment
out a multi-line block of code on the page using /* */ style comments, then
every time I press 'enter' within that block it puts a "*" there. ie it
automatically assumes that you want any multiline /* */ comment to have *'s
at the beginning of the line.

Is there a way to disable this? This behaviour might make sense for comment
tags starting with /** but not for /*. It's a bit of a usability oversight.
There should be a way to have normal /* comment blocks without
auto-*-on-enter behaviour.
